The 2024/25 Carabao Cup third round is set to bring excitement as Premier League giants Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea join the competition.

After skipping the earlier rounds due to their European commitments, these teams now enter the fray alongside 29 others.

The draw, split over two weeks, promises thrilling matchups, including Arsenal hosting Bolton, Manchester United facing Barnsley, and Liverpool taking on West Ham.

With 32 teams competing for a spot in the next round, fans can expect high-stakes action as the tournament heats up.

The draw was confirmed late Wednesday night following the conclusion of the fourth round fixtures.

It was conducted by Les Ferdinand and Michael Dawson with Mark Chapman the presenter, reports Sky.

“A new rule change means that the third round draw will have some differences to usual, it means that the third round will be split over two separate weeks with six of the seven teams competing in Europe not being eligible to face each other,” says English Football League.

Therefore, Arsenal and Tottenham will be in the group drawn first. Chelsea are slightly different due to the Conference League not starting until October.

There’s some interesting games in there, as a reminder, Arsenal take on Bolton, Tottenham travel to Coventry and Chelsea host Barrow.

The ties will be played on the weeks commencing September 16 & 23.
